III. COMMENTS - COMPLIANCE <br /> Sunlight C-1981-046 <br /> Pg 1/1 12 August 2008 <br /> Below are comments on the inspection. The comments include discussion of observations <br /> made during the inspection. Comments also describe any enforcement actions taken during <br /> the inspection and the facts or evidence supporting the enforcement action. <br /> This was a complete inspection of the Sunlight Mine conducted by Jim Stark of <br /> CDRMS. The permit for the site has been revoked and the reclamation was <br /> completed by the Division. The weather was hot and sunny and the ground was dry. <br /> Signs and Markers: The Division's revoked mine site sign was in place and in good <br /> condition at the time of the inspection. <br /> Hydrologic Balance: - The lower reclaimed sediment pond area was well vegetated <br /> and stable. No erosional problems were noted. <br /> - The upper sediment pond was stable and appeared to be in good condition. No <br /> erosional problems were noted. <br /> Backfilling and Grading: - The regraded portal area on the north side of the road was <br /> stable and appeared to be in good condition. There was no settling or cracking and <br /> there was good vegetation on the slope. There were no erosional problems noted. <br /> Slides and Damage: - The portal area on the south side of the road (and below the <br /> road) has collapsed. The wood cribbing appears to have rotted and caused the <br /> collapse. The seal inside the portal still appears to be stable. It is unknown how <br /> stable this area is. It may cause some concern as it is below the road. <br />
